I wanted to start doing a series of posts that were just like streams of visual info. I spend way too much time image-hunting so I have a lot to share. I'm not the best at keeping track of my sources or even what some of these things are, I'd be so appreciative if you shared with me!
I'm kind of playing visual leap-frog here, bear with me.
The first image feed post is for the guys. I don't post enough menswear here so I figure it's time for something like this.
Above three from unknown sources?
The Stone Roses, obsessed with picture #1
A friend showed me this picture and told me that Jiro Shirasu was the first person in Japan to allow himself to be photographed wearing blue jeans.
From Levi's Vintage Clothing's lookbook-another obsession, check it out at this great blog
here
Mick & Bianca Jagger
"This series expands on the work of the postmodern Italian filmmaker Sergio Leone who re-interpreted the idea of the American western film. By appropriating from Akira Kurosawas's Yojimbo and American western films, Leone used an international cast and shot in locations such as Spain to depict the wild American west. My re-interpretation of the Spaghetti Western as Sukiyaki Western points to media and culture in our postmodern world quickly and constantly consuming one another, re-creating itself anew in the process. By constructing images that cast Asian actors as Cowboys/Gunslingers from a Leone film, and staging my scenes in Pioneertown, California, I am bringing the appropriations cycle full circle and constructing a hybrid of Eastern and Western values and popular iconography that dissolves societal, racial and cultural boundaries."
Number (N)ine's final collection. R.I.P.
This was from Margiela shoot...I got it at tFS and can't remember what it was but I love the attitude here.

I know I post Japan a lot on both of my blogs. Sorry. Watch any of their videos post '79, ridiculously good 80's style.
Expect more image feeds in the near future. Hope you enjoyed.

This post might've been for the guys but I'm a girl and I enjoyed the bowie pics maybe too much
Interesting selection of pics!
I'm a big fan of Bowie. liked the Mick and Bianca and Yohji pictures. The others are Great for representing every aspect of men. Rock 'n Roll , to a father , to an outdoors man. Thanks for taking that risk
take care
I love the picture of Yohji Yamamoto and his mom :) so cute. Thanks for the image feed!

Would love to see your view on menswear! I really enjoy following your blog seeing your great sense style.

Dear Jane,
speaking of menswear you might like one of my closest soul friend Bri's style. a video of him here: http://www.yoannlemoine.com/video.php?id=NYS1
You should check out the taste of tea, for some more tadanobu asano, and general heartwarming Japanese absurdity. Just a choice scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCIDdyzJnp8
But a really, truly beautiful japanese movie you should see is Tony Takitani.
Just some preparation for your trip to Japan ;)
After working in the mens department in bloomingdales i've become obsessed with menswear. i don't even like the women's clothes we carry compared to the neat stuff we got for guys.
These photos are cool. I like The Man Who Fell To Earth Bowie. That was an interesting movie.
mix it up, NICE1
I read your blog everyday from France, I love it ! and today, I post for the first time just to tell you : the man on the Margiela shoot is Sebastien Chabal, a french Rugby Star ! He's very sollicitated for fashion ad, shooting etc
Ooh i can help you out a bit! 3rd photo from the top is from Japanese mens mag COOL TRANS APRIL 09 issue... and that's about all i know D:
Great inspiration post! Cannot wait for the next one.. for the girls, right?

Thanks for doing a post for the boys! It would be great to hear more of your opinions on menswear.
I especially love the Number (N)ine collection. Such great textures.

I loves me some Bowie. I think the picture from the top of your post is from "Man Who Fell to Earth". Fantastic movie with fantastic style.
Stone Roses, Bowie as Warhol, and Ichi the Killer, plus I love that Lockwood quote. Can't get much better than this, will have to show this to my husband immediately, he will appreciate it.
xxx,

aw, many of my favorite things here! Japanese movies and Bowie... You should also check out the Korean movie "The Good, The Bad and The Weird" which is a Korean western. Super good.
I zip to your blog and Mr. Best-Thing-Since-Jesus pops up! Spectacular! And the Bowie photo under his Rock Hall of Fame picture is to die for!! I love the menswear slant; the David Bowie part is especially fine. Fantastic blog!!
I love your outfits and all... So i hope we KeepInTouch.

wow!
amazing! love love the last pic!
Ichi the Killer/Tadanobu Asano is the AWESOMEST! (^o^)
Please keep the feeds coming! Can't get enough of Bowie either... So ethereal and androgynous. The Man Who Fell To Earth indeed. He is not of this world, I swear.
Though I must say I am taken aback by the final collection part... Takahiro Miyashita is seriously not continuing Number(N)ine? (o_o)
very interesting.
Bowie! For the boys. Psh. This was straight girlie porn. Fashion and Bowie.
sweet bowie pics!
WOOT WOOT for Bowie!!!
yum david bowie yum yum yum.

yohji yamamoto's antwerp store is so literally heaven--so glad to see the charming photos of him on your blog!

aaaaoooo so weird, yesterday i was searching the internet ang googled supreme lookbook or something and anywyas i found the same website you got that picture from "above three unknown source" but it is a picture from the skateboard clothing brand supreme...[]
I'm a male regular reader of your blog (I guess Kanye West is to hey?? haha) And I want you to know I really enjoyed this post. These images are great, classic, and inspiring, and very interesting too. I also love all of the Japanese inspiration. I do street fashion inspired illustrations, and Japanese street fashion and style in general is always a big inspiration for me. The pics of Yohji Yamamoto are great too! Thanks for thinking of your other readers.
